United Helpers Unveils "Always Caring" Playlist

Thanks to assistance from dozens of United Helpers employees and supporters from across the region music fans now have access to a free playlist of tunes made up entirely of uplifting, inspiring,  motivational, or positive songs.

"When I started putting this list together I had no idea what to expect. I didn't know if we would get 10 songs, 30 songs or 100 songs, but to get well over 100 tracks far exceeded my expectations," said United Helpers Marketing and Communications Coordinator Benny Fairchild. "What we ended up with was a playlist that includes country music, rock music, pop music, and gospel music from the past 50 or more years."

Several other artists also appear on the playlist that you may not have heard of such as Home Free, Israel Kamakawiwo’oi, and Johnny Diaz. Two suggestions for the list, "Heroes" by The Wallflowers and "Atlas Fall" by Shinedown were unable to be added.    The list consists of 117 tracks from all genres of music and covers nearly seven hours of listening. Included in the playlist are many well-known songs from such artists as Queen, who makes five appearances on the list, The Beatles, Elton John, Tim McGraw, Josh Groban, Louis Armstrong, and Bruno Mars.


"This playlist truly includes something for everyone at a time when I think everyone could use a little bit of positivity," Mr. Fairchild said. "And if there's a song you don't like, Spotify allows free users to skip up to six songs per hour."

The playlist may be accessed through Spotify at, https://spoti.fi/3btCnZm.
